Anthropometric Data

Anthropometric data is presented for a subset of personnel sampled to match the proportions of age categories and racial/ethnic groups found in the army as of June 1988.

Public domain database of child anthropometric data from Consumer Product Safety Commission.

This report provides anthropometric reference data for U.S. children and adults of all ages.

All the basic areas of anthropometry and its applications to the design of clothing, equipment, and workspaces for manned space flight are presented.

Contains data resulting from surveys of 61 military and civilian populations of both sexes from the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Some 295 measured variables are defined and illustrated.

Annotated bibliography covering a broad spectrum of topics relevant to applied physical anthropology with emphasis on anthropometry and its applications in sizing and design.

Presents information about human body size, posture, movement, surface area, volume, and mass.

Included in this document are data for body dimensions,
joint locations, and mass distribution properties. The data provided in this document are meant to serve as a basis for three-dimensional mathematical models and test dummies which are to be used for investigating responses to impact or other mechanical forces.

Growth charts are available from birth to age 20.

DoD's interests are widespread and include a strong interest in ergonomics and anthropometry as well as biological and medical sciences; environmental pollution and control; and the behavioral and social sciences. Many reports are full-text online.

Exhaustive compilation of human factors practices and principles integral to the procurement, design, development, and testing of FAA systems, facilities, and equipment.

These "Design Resources" are intended to provide designers with evidence-based information to address issues currently not covered in accessibility standards and provide suggestions for equivalent facilitation to accessibility standards where appropriate.

This report from NCHS (National Centre for Health Statistics) provides an excellent overview of secular trends in mean stature and weight for U.S. civilians since the 1960s.

Comprehensive anthropometric database of current female operational personnel within the Fire Service.

This is an extensive data set, focusing on a range of characteristics, primarily around health/nutrition attributes, but certainly applicable to many ergonomic design characteristics. Includes 64 tables covering everything from weight, height to wrist and buttock circumference.

Anthropometry and positioning of pregnant women while seated as drivers in the automotive environment. The results provide contour data for developing the second-generation pregnant abdomen, and quantify anthropometry issues for vehicle interior and restraint designers.

Selected anthropometric features of 6534 aviation trainng candidates were examined. These measures included: weight, stature, sitting height, shoulder width, buttock-knee length, buttock-heel length, per cent of body fat, and lean body weight.
